KA-5040R
Commentary

Pre-main amplifier developed with the aim of sound beyond class.

A large power supply of 300 VA is used for the power supply.
In order to improve the performance of the final stage, a final transistor with Pc = 80Wx8 and four single channels is used.

Six relays are used immediately after the signal input part. By switching by relay system, the signal path is short-circuited, and adjacent interference between signals by independent relays is reduced.
The relay used is an inert gas filled type to eliminate signal loss due to oxidation of the contact part.

A pure signal ground line is designed, and the ground line is concentrated at one point of the speaker terminal which outputs the signal to prevent mutual interference in each operation.

Equipped with a source direct circuit that bypasses ton control, balance control, and subsonic circuit, the signal path can be minimized from selector to volume and power amplifier.

It comes with a system remote controller that can operate devices with the Kenwood Synchro mark.

Equipped with a speaker terminal that can be connected to a banana terminal.

Equipped with a MM/MC gain switching phono equalizer amplifier.
